Al -Rayyan bid farewell to the AFC Champions League for the elite after losing two goals against Al -Ahly in the match that took place between them yesterday in Saudi Arabia, in the second leg of the 16th round of the tournament. Riad Mehrez scored Al -Ahly’s goals in the 83rd and 77th minutes. The Saudi Al -Ahly qualified for the quarter -finals of the two games 1/5. The first leg in Doha, which was held last week, ended with Al -Ahly’s victory 1/3.
Al -Rayyan performed well in the first half and strongly defended his goal despite the attack and pressure he was subjected to from the first minutes, and the many opportunities that had been allowed to Al -Ahly. Al -Rayyan relied on the apostate attack, and he had two good chances. Al -Rayyan appeared as a better offensive in the second half, and he approached the goal a lot of attempts by Gidis and Romarinho, but they were not successful in it, to end the match with Al -Ahly winning two goals without a response, to qualify for the quarter -finals.
